Cumbia began as a courtship dance practiced among the African population, which was later mixed with Amerindian, European and African instruments, steps and musical characteristics.[1][2]
Cumbia genres and movements
New Chilean cumbia rock
Cumbia is gaining new attention as the result of an emergence of acts formed by younger musicians usually labelled as "nueva cumbia chilena" (new Chilean cumbia), including bands such as Chico Trujillo, Banda Conmocion, Juana Fe, Sonora Barón, Sonora de Llegar, Chorizo Salvaje, Sonora Tomo como Rey, Villa Cariño, Sepamoya, Guachupe among others. These new bands offer some of the classic tones and sounds of Chilean cumbia blended with rock or other folk Latin American styles.[3]
